Gentlemen, you have seen it on tv and in slapstick movies.

NEVER leave your rake on the ground!

Baz

Hope you're not seriously injured.

Jake


Not seriously injured, just a little cut on my eyebrow and my specs
needed to be strightened, no glass broken. It's a laugh really because
Cas(OH) was helping to get a bit more order in the garden and was
raking after I was taking a few stubborn weeds out. She got ahead of
me and went indoors to make us a coffee. When she shouted me I turned
round to get the coffee and BAM, I stepped onto the rake that she had
left propped up on the bucket she was using. The handle immediatly
smacked me in the kisser and all she could do was laugh, and I mean
laugh, she fell to the ground, her legs looked like she was cycling
and all I could hear was her squeaking until she got her breath back,
then more squeaking and more getting breath back untill she finally
laughed properly with her breath back. She said afterwards that she
wasn't laughing at my mishap, but when the rake hit me I looked around
me like a mongoose or merecat, hoping no-one saw it. That tickled her
ribs. Seriously, I have not seen her laugh like that for a long long
time.

All's well that ends well as they say.
Bit of a shiner and a bit of glue, but I never was that handsome
anyway.

Baz


Glad it's not too bad though I'm trying to work out where the coffee
went in all this fun and cycling. I hope it tasted nice! It's good
that the two of you can share a laugh (hopefully you'll understand
what I mean by that).

Take care.

Jake


She spilled a bit of coffee in recoil (I didn't get mine) and she managed
to put both mugs on the lawn.
BTW she wasn't laughing with me, she was laughing at me! I wasn't
laughing.
The next opportunity I get we will see how much laughter a person can
take when I hand her a stinging nettle. Justice will be seen. At least
she won't have to wait hours at A&E and then have a tetanus jab.
Revenge is sweet so they say.
